Hello,
I recently had my friend make this really cool wallet for me. Since then I had been interested in making wallets as well. I am familiar with the carving and stamping he did to make the wallet but I have no clue how he did the multiple colors so clean and evenly changing into other colors so nicely. As a person that's new to dyes/stains. Can someone please explain how one would go about dying the leather similar to this? He says its a "secret".
Is he using dyes or stains?
Is the dyes/stains he is using Waterbased, oil, or alcohol solvents?
Does he dye each individual color wait for it to dry then apply the next color?
It almost looks as if he air brushed it on there I am not sure though.
